The Birchwood is a café and restaurant at 146 Marchmont Road in Edinburgh. Its cosy neighbourhood atmosphere and commitment to locally sourced ingredients make it well suited to breakfast, brunch, lunch or an unhurried coffee near the Meadows.

The Birchwood breakfast combines sausage, bacon, Stornoway black pudding, mushrooms, egg, tattie scone, tomato, beans and toast. Vegetarian and vegan plates receive the same attention, while eggs Benedict, a bacon brioche roll and avocado on sourdough cover familiar brunch favourites.

Sweet choices include banana bread, granola, porridge and French toast, with soup, sandwiches and specials carrying the menu into lunch. Freshly baked pastries and coffee made with locally roasted beans also make the café useful for a shorter visit.

The kitchen’s farm to table approach extends to occasional evening tapas, where garlic prawns, halloumi fries and patatas gratinadas can be paired with imported wine or a classic cocktail. That wider offer gives The Birchwood a character that reaches beyond a standard daytime coffee shop.

Address: 146 Marchmont Road, Edinburgh EH9 1AQ, Scotland
